What you see staying on the market longer are homes that are not renovated asking top dollar or above 

It’s a lot of work for a measly 200 dollars a month which is the typical cf on a 60-80k home that rents for 850.

The rate will be higher (typically 1% to 1-1/2% higher) but you will be able to sell, refinance, or payoff the loan without  having to worry about paying what could potentially be thousands of dollars in a pre-payment penalty. 

My criteria is a specific set of numbers with dollar signs in front, not percentages behind. 

Try driving for dollars.

Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

In Phoenix, for instance, I’ve watched investors bring in a local property management crew who know how to squeeze every last dollar of value out of a rental, or partner up with local 1031 exchange specialists like AccuTitle to keep the paperwork tidy.

Quote from @Mary Jo Carruthers: I have seen houses where folks did it anyways without the permit but that is really value destroying as it will make it very unlikely to sell for top dollar with that layout. 

With margin trading of 20-25% of initial investment, when stocks market collapses with dollar cost averaging as a strategy  , leverage of the initial investment in stocks, the AAR can be more.comparable to most syndication (compared to 20% down payment in real estate).I have been following BP forums for the last 4-5 months and have spent almost 4-500 hours.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.
